Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors improve TAVR prognosis

December 6, 2019

Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and TAVR

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace narrowed aortic valves that fail to properly open. Following this procedure, however, left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis persist and are linked to worse prognosis. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition can protect against these risks and in response to … [Read more...] about Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors improve TAVR prognosis

Global consensus on CTO-PCI best practices

November 7, 2019

Global consensus on CTO-PCI best practices

A chronic total occlusion (CTO) is the complete obstruction of a coronary artery, presenting a Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 0 flow and an occlusion duration of at least 3 months. With the advancement of equipment, techniques and key indicators, the success rates of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have greatly improved. During CTO-PCI meetings in … [Read more...] about Global consensus on CTO-PCI best practices

Managing coronary artery disease: MRI vs FFR

October 24, 2019

MRI vs FFR

Little is known about combining diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to manage patients with suspected coronary artery disease. To bridge this gap two commonly used clinical management strategies were compared: myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI or CMR) and invasive angiography with measurement of fractional flow research (FFR). An … [Read more...] about Managing coronary artery disease: MRI vs FFR

Prognostic implication of myocardial injury during PCI vs CABG

October 9, 2019

Myocardial injury - PCI vs CABG

Periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) is myocardial injury that occurs during revascularization procedures, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). What remains unclear is the prognostic implications of periprocedural myocardial infarction and the extent of myonecrosis that is prognostically significant. In the … [Read more...] about Prognostic implication of myocardial injury during PCI vs CABG
